Product Information
Full details
The TND External Mains Socket Box is designed for caravan, motorhome, and campervan owners who require a reliable, flush-mounted 240V power source on the exterior of their vehicle. This 13-amp outlet allows users to safely plug in appliances like electric BBQs, lighting, or tools while camping; however, professional installation is strongly recommended due to the need to cut into the vehicle's exterior paneling and ensure a watertight seal.

FAQs
Can I install this myself?
While technically possible for those experienced in vehicle modification, we recommend professional installation to ensure the electrical connection is safe and the seal is watertight.
Is this socket waterproof?
It is weather-resistant and designed for external use; however, it should not be submerged in water or subjected to high-pressure cleaning directly.
What is the maximum amperage?
This unit is rated for 13 amps, which is standard for most 240V household appliances.
Does it come with mounting screws?
Please check your package contents, but typically you will need to source high-quality stainless steel screws suitable for your specific vehicle wall material.
Can this be painted to match my caravan?
It is made of durable plastic; while it can be painted, it is advised to use a plastic-adhesion primer first to prevent peeling.
Troubleshooting
No power at the socket
Check the campsite hook-up connection and ensure the vehicle's main circuit breaker (RCD) has not tripped.
The lid will not stay closed
Inspect the hinge for debris or sand and ensure the locking tab is not bent or obstructed.
Evidence of water inside the housing
Check the external perimeter sealant for gaps or cracks; re-seal with automotive-grade waterproof sealant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves cutting a precise rectangular opening into the side of the caravan or campervan. It is essential to use a high-quality, non-setting mastic or silicone sealant around the perimeter of the box before screwing it into place to prevent water leaks, which could lead to chassis rot. Ensure all electrical connections are made by a qualified professional to meet local safety standards for mobile installations. For ongoing care, periodically wipe the exterior casing with a damp cloth and check that the hinge mechanism remains free of debris to ensure the cover snaps shut tightly.
